Traders dropped positions on semi-conductor and communications equipment makers, as well as software companies, as S&P 500 stock valuations reached a two-month high. Hedge funds were net sellers of global stocks, particularly in North American and emerging Asian markets, while being net buyers of Europe and developed markets in Asia.
